On May 30, 2015, West employees in Germany donated their time and manpower to support two local non-profit organizations—Kids auf Trab and Zwischen Uns e.V.—with a community day, held under the patronage of Rudi Bertram, mayor of Eschweiler.
Both organizations aim to improve the lives of those with disabilities. Kids auf Trab offers therapeutic horseback riding for mentally or physically handicapped children to strengthen their social development. Zwischen Uns e.V. was founded with the mission to offer a place of employment to young adults with mental and physical disabilities. Depending on the individual’s talents and interests, they produce unique felted and woven goods, paint or cook. The organization also operates its own shop.
For Zwischen Uns e.V., an allotment garden had to be made handicap accessible so that the organization can grow its own vegetables. West employees offered their physical support by paving, building planting beds and posting a commemorative plaque at the garden gate.
At the same time, another group set out to renew the horseback riding grounds for Kids auf Trab and equipped the stable with windows, built a dog pound and fixed and painted the fencing. At the end of the day, West surprised Mrs. Jacobs—who runs the organization with the help of her two sons—with a dump trailer.
None of this would have been possible without the volunteer support of West’s vendors who provided necessary machinery and their expertise. A portion of the funds raised by the Eschweiler office for during the month of May was used to purchase building material for Community Day.
Thank you West employees, family members and partners for making a positive impact on our community. We are happy to add these two worthwhile organizations to our charitable efforts.
Particles in drug products can come from many sources—extrinsic (from outside the process), intrinsic (from within the process) and even inherent (as part of the drug formulation)<sup>1</sup>.
West is committed to delivering safe and efficient drug packaging products to our customers. Part of that commitment involves keeping the industry abreast of the latest regulatory and technology developments/challenges in packaging and delivery. West recently hosted, at its Exton headquarters, an installment of the ongoing Educational Series, titled: <strong>Managing Risk in Injectable Drug Delivery: Regulatory and Technical Challenges and Solutions. <br /></strong><br />
With more injectable biologics coming onto the market, and an increase in combination products, regulatory scrutiny is being given to the interaction between a drug product and its container closure system. If the right container closure and device are not selected for a biologic that is marketed in a prefilled syringe or auto-injector, there could be a significant impact on quality.
<span style="color: #333333;">Today, we are more connected than ever before. We rely on the Internet to stay informed and to perform our day-to-day jobs. It’s hard to imagine our lives without the Internet; yet for all of its advantages, increased connectivity brings increased risks for cybercrime. Recognizing the importance of cyber security, President Obama designated October as National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM), as has the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA). At West, we are committed to ensuring the ongoing success of our business processes and operations, which requires information that is accurate, complete, consistent and, above all, secure. This makes cyber security one of West’s most important priorities.</span>
